<p>Hey I'm new here guys and I'd really appreciate it if you guys gave me a rough perspective of my chances for the below universities. </p>
<p>MIT
Northwestern
UPenn
UChicago
UIUC
UMich
Stanford
Possibly USC</p>
<p>I'm half Indian, half white. Middle class family.</p>
<p>My GPA is a 3.5, however, I go to a highly selective boarding high school (the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy) and colleges understand that it's a higher level of academic rigor. My school is philosophically against AP courses but ALL courses (sophomore through senior year) are at AP difficulty. Some of these are 1 semester courses.</p>
<p>My schedule for the next 2 years is as follows</p>
<p>Junior year:
BC II/III (the second part of a 2 semester full ABC calc sequence)
Statistics (comparable to AP Stats)
Calc Based Physics (mechanics and E&M)
Modern Physics (stuff like the Higgs Boson and quarks)
Military History
20th century history
Literature courses (I'll be prepared for AP Language by the end of them)
2nd year of Japanese
Music Theory</p>
<p>Senior year:</p>
<p>Differential Equations
Graph Theory
Multi vary Calculus
Organic Chemistry (widely considered to be one of the hardest undergrad science courses at colleges)
Microbes and Disease
Political Theory
International Relations
Literature courses
A Comp Sci course (equivalent to AP CompSci)</p>
<p>ACT score: 35 composite (English:32, the rest are 36s)
PSAT: Haven't taken yet but my practice tests indicate around a 230
APs: Have not taken yet but I plan on taking
Calc BC
Statistics
Language
Music Theory
Comparative Government
Physics B
Both Physics C
I predict a 5 on all but Music Theory, Comparative Government and Language which I predict a 4 on.
SAT Subject Test: 800 Math II, 800 Math I, 690 Biology and I plan on taking the Physics and not letting colleges come near that Biology score.
100 on AMC 10</p>
<p>Achievements:</p>
<p>Predicting at least National Merit semifinalist, probably finalist
Illinois Novice Congressional Debate Champion
Extemporaneous Speaking National Qualifier<br>
National History Day Website Completion: 9th place (this was in 7th grade so I'm guessing colleges won't care. Am I correct?)
Black Belt in Tae-Kwon-Do; should be second Dan but was not able to attend testing for second Dan</p>
<p>My XCs:</p>
<p>Martial Arts (2008-now);
Debate (Freshmen year)
Soccer (Freshmen Year)
Math Team (freshmen year)
Speech (Sophomore-Senior year)
I facilitate a leadership class that teaches sophomore leadership theories and how to apply them. I also teach an elective of this class that discusses political leadership and has students work with Illinois state legislators to write a bill)
Student Council: Hall Senator Junior, will probably be VP or president senior year. We work on academic and Res Life reforms and have experience a fairly high degree of success.
Entrepreneurship: I teach a Lean Startup class to sophomores and am currently attempting to start up a business. I also am on the student board of my school's entrepreneurship program.</p>
<p>I am required to get 200 hours of community service to graduate HS, 20 of which must be off campus. I will get 120-150 hours for my leadership class. The rest will likely come by volunteering at Feed My Starving Children or something of the like.</p>
<p>I'll either be conducting business research or interning at a startup in 1871 next summer (I am a web developer) </p>
<p>Please chance me realistically. I'd rather not waste application fees. Thanks guys :D</p>
